6 FAQs about [Capacitor internal fuse wiring]

What does a capacitor fuse need to withstand?

The fuse for an individual unit in a capacitor bank must withstand the energy contributed to the failed unit by other capacitors in the same phase group. Short circuit (interrupting) – Must be greater than the short-circuit current that will ow when the capacitor unit is shorted.

How many fuses are in a capacitor bank?

Since internal fuses are hidden from view and most units contain at least 20 but can have as many as 100 elements, detecting one or two failed elements in a large internally fused capacitor bank requires very sensitive unbalance relaying equipment.

What is the difference between a fuse and an unfused capacitor?

In this design, a fuse is simply a piece of wire specifically selected based on the internal design of the unit to melt under fault conditions. Because each element is protected with a fuse inside the capacitor unit, the I2R loss is much higher (e.g. 50% higher) compared to unfused unit construction.

Are capacitor fuses capacitive limited?

Most capacitor fuses have a maximum power frequency fault current that they can interrupt. These currents may be different for inductive and capacitively limited faults. For ungrounded or multi-series group banks, the faults are capacitive limited.

How does stress affect the protection of capacitor banks by fuses?

Stress specific to the protection of capacitor banks by fuses, which is addressed in IEC 60549, can be divided into two types: Stress during bank energization (the inrush current, which is very high, can cause the fuses to age or blow) and Stress during operation (the presence of harmonics may lead to excessive temperature rises).

How do you choose a capacitor fuse?

The fuse protecting the capacitor is chosen such that its continuous current capability is equal to or greater than 135% of rated capacitor current for grounded-wye connected racks, and 125% for ungrounded-wye racks. This overrating includes the effects of overvoltage, capacitor tolerance, and harmonics.
